I was wondering the same thing. "Acedia (also accidie or accedie, from Latin acidĭa, and this from Greek ἀκηδία, negligence) describes a state of listlessness or torpor, of not caring or not being concerned with one's position or condition in the world. It can lead to a state of being unable to perform one's duties in life. Its spiritual overtones make it related to but distinct fromdepression.[1] Acedia was originally noted as a problem among monks and other ascetics who maintained a solitary life." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acedia Sal
